Morton A.L. , 53rd Bn. A.I.F." I knew Auhl well - he came from the 1st Battalion and joined the 53rd Bn, at Tel-el-Kebir, Egypt. He was in "B" Coy. in Egypt, but was a Machine Gunner when he was killed. He was always known as 'Snowy' -he was fairheaded- medium build,and was, I think, Lance Corporal when he was killed. I had been wounded at Fleurbaix on 19 july 1916 and did not rejoin the Battalion tll 18 september 1917, and went up to the Battalion at Reninghelst when they came out from the Polygon stunt. I was then told by a man, whose name I forgot, that he was with Auhl as a Machine Gunner in the Polygon Wood Battle, and that he had helped to dig Auhl out three times,but that a shell fell near him and killed him instantly."
